The Helio Sequence

Com Plex

Cavity Search

The sounds solidify into electronic paisley waves. Techno bubbles bursting in cool tall glasses of pop music. Hear the Beatles, hear Stereolab, hear Sgt. Pepper and the sexy French boys. Shoegaze into space rock with melodic dance atmospherics. Yeah, you can dance like it was 1983, or space out like it was yesterday. Spiritualized waves opening up for solid hooks. The amazing things you can still do with drums, guitars, and keyboards. Letting the vocals sing stories that take you to the lands that the instruments create. This is a soundtrack for certain parts of your mind, and it’s worth the price of admission.
